Sher of Midhat-ul-Akhtar
laa.ī hai kahāñ mujh ko tabī.at kī do-rañgī
duniyā kā talabgār bhī duniyā se ḳhafā bhī
lai hai kahan mujh ko tabiat ki do-rangi
duniya ka talabgar bhi duniya se KHafa bhi
jism us kī god meñ ho ruuh tere rū-ba-rū
fāhisha ke garm bistar par riyā-kārī karūñ
jism us ki god mein ho ruh tere ru-ba-ru
fahisha ke garm bistar par riya-kari karun
jaane vaale mujhe kuchh apnī nishānī de jā
ruuh pyāsī na rahe aañkh meñ paanī de jā
jaane wale mujhe kuchh apni nishani de ja
ruh pyasi na rahe aankh mein pani de ja

aankhen hain magar KHwab se mahrum hain 'midhat'
taswir ka rishta nahin rangon se zara bhi
